For most travelers, no visa is required to visit North Macedonia for stays of up to 90 days. However, certain nationalities may need to hold a valid Schengen visa prior to arrival.

To enter the country, you should also be prepared to present:

• A passport valid for at least three months beyond your travel dates
• Proof of onward or return travel
• Confirmation of accommodation and sufficient financial means

Visa requirements are the responsibility of each traveler, and entry regulations may change without notice. We strongly recommend checking the most up-to-date information for your nationality through official government travel advisories, consular services, or trusted visa information sources before your trip.

All travelers are strongly required to have valid travel insurance before joining the trip. Coverage must include medical expenses and emergency repatriation, as entry and insurance requirements may vary by country and destination.

Tipping isn’t expected in North Macedonia, but leaving a 10–15% tip at a good restaurant is always appreciated. Some higher-end restaurants may already include a service charge, so additional tipping is only needed if the service truly stands out.

Tap water in North Macedonia is safe to drink. To reduce plastic waste, we encourage travelers to use a reusable water bottle and refill it throughout the trip.

Internet access is widely available in major towns, with reliable connections throughout the country. Most hotels and many restaurants in larger cities offer free WiFi.

North Macedonia has roaming agreements with most major international carriers, and mobile coverage is generally reliable. You can also activate global roaming before departure, but be sure to check rates in advance, as roaming charges can be high.

Western-style flush toilets are now common across North Macedonia, especially in hotels and modern venues. Squat toilets may still be found in some public restrooms and smaller local cafés.

North Macedonia has distinct seasons, so pack light, breathable clothing for summer (June–August) and warm layers, including gloves and a hat, for winter travel (November–February). Comfortable walking shoes are essential for city walks and mountain areas, and don’t forget a swimsuit if you’re visiting the lakes in warmer months.
